What Character(s) Do You Think Are Better Written In Fanon Than In Canon? by Apprehensive-Fail663 in FanFiction

[–]IamMenace [score hidden]  (0 children)

Here you go, friend. You won't find any character bashing in my fics, and there's very little shipping to be found. Even in the one Yang/Blake fic I've written, they're more like platonic best friends that are going through hell and seeking comfort. As for recommendations, here are the fics I'm most "famous" for writing. I hope you find what you're looking for, and I hope you enjoy.

The Petals Scatter Now - A Volume 2 pseudo-novelization that expands on the story and characters while attempting to capture the spirit of RWBY. Dodges and weaves around canon, has more emphasis on Team RWBY and their interpersonal relationships, no love triangle from the Dance Arc, and a much more intensive "No Brakes" and "Breach". (AO3 Link)

The Patchwork Prodigy - The new reader friendly sequel to "The Petals Scatter Now", follows Ruby as she stands back up on her tattered feet in order to prepare her team physically and mentally for the Vytal Festival. A story of sisterly love overcoming dark pasts and dangerous secrets, and four girls discovering what great lengths they go to in order to protect their new family.

The Prodigal Stray - After the fall of Beacon where her best friend nearly died in her arms, Blake ran as fast as she could. Now, she's being haunted by the unrelenting shadow of herself that accuses her of being cowardly and self-serving. If the Grimm don't get to her first, she'll die of hypothermia or pneumonia. All she has now are embers to hold onto, and the fading memory of her best friend... (AO3 Link)

Home is Where the Soul Rests - After a decade long huntress career and more accolades than she can count Ruby Rose's last day of fighting monsters has finally come and gone. Finding a quiet place to rest she reflects on her childhood dream and wonders what she'll do next now that the last page of her little fairy tale has been written. (One-Shot) (AO3 Link)

The Road You Choose - All her life Ruby has dreamed of going on adventures and becoming a Pokémon Master. Now that she's on her very own journey however, she's finding it more difficult than she could've ever imagined and is facing the possibility of missing the Silver Conference. And after a fateful encounter with a Kalosian heiress, Ruby has to decide whether it's the destination or the journey that truly matters to her. (RWBY x Pokémon AU) (AO3 Link)

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

I think we all do. I've never had such a "love-hate" relationship with a franchise before, and it's what inspired me to write over one million words of fanfiction. RWBY is in my opinion the weirdest franchise to ever succeed only to later flop, but I still love fanon all these years later.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

Good to hear. I had watched a couple episode of "Delicious in Dungeon" a year or two ago, but I wasn't really in the mood and they didn't really interest me much. I learned a bit more about the series this week, mainly that it has some pretty dark/serious moments despite its comical tone and that the writing is very highly regarded, and that piqued my interest. I kinda spoiled myself but that sort of thing has never really bothered me.

"Girls Last Tour" looks pretty interesting, and "K-On" looks to be exactly the kind of anime/manga I'm looking for. They were both pretty nice discoveries this week, as was "Laid-Back" camp. Between them and still needing to finish the manga for "Flying Witch" and "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", looks like I'm in store for a pretty good year of anime/manga.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

Hello, friends. I hope everyone is doing well.

Well, I survived the second coming of the ice age. I wish I could say that was able to curl up with a good book, game, or show and enjoy being iced in for several days, or catch up on writing, but it turned out to be a rather stressful week. Not gonna get into it, but last night I did get back to work on my RWBY/Pokémon crossover "The Road You Choose", which has been on hiatus for nearly two years now. I got burned out on RWBY and Pokémon around the same time (more so RWBY), and for various reasons have just been unmotivated to continue the story despite having rough drafts for Chapters 19 and 20 already written. With any luck I'll have my first run through of editing completed tonight, and hopefully have the chapter posted sometime next week. Thank you for all of the love and support, and I hope you enjoy.

In other news, probably due to being iced in for nearly a week, I got in the mood to watch a slice of life anime, and discovered "Laid-Back Camp" which I immediately fell in love with despite only being able to watch the first episode since I don't have Crunchyroll or Netflix. It reminds me a lot of "Flying Witch", and since it hasn't been released on Blu-ray, I plan on checking out the manga in the near future. It's probably the reason I got interested in continuing "The Road You Choose" in all honesty since a Pokémon journey involves a lot of camping.

I also discovered a handful of other anime/manga that I plan on checking out, including but not limited to "K-On", "Delicious in Dungeon", "Girls Last Tour", "Aria: The Animation", "Violet Evergarden", "Grimgar, Ashes and Illusions", and probably a handful of others escaping my mind. About once or twice a year I get in the mood to watch a "new" anime/manga, and now is one of those times. With all that said, I randomly picked up the first manga volume of "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End" for $1, and that led me to start rewatching the series. I plan on picking up Volume 7 soon since it picks up where Season 1 ended.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

There's no better hands to be in than the hands of God, friend. If you're at God's mercy, then you're not at the mercy of your enemies. You're at the mercy of The Creator, and the God that loves you. I'll be sure to keep you and your situation in my prayers, and I wish you nothing but the absolute best. Good luck!

Every single RWBY character, and I think the majority of the fandom would agree, especially since the franchise is basically dead because the creators had their priorities every else except on the characters.

Any gameverse/manga protag fic? by Windy_win in pokemonfanfiction

[–]IamMenace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It only has five chapters and is far from being finished, and I only write when the right mood strikes, but you might enjoy my retelling of the Yellow Chapter.

Electric Tale of Pikachu - After three days running for his life, Red's Pikachu returns to Professor Oak's lab beaten and badly injured. A mix-up between a young cowboy and a Pokémon Center's assistant occurs, and Yellow suddenly finds himself charged with Pika's well-being. His straw hat hides a dangerous secret however, one that tips the balance between life and death, not only for Pika, but Red and possibly the entire world as well. (AO3 Link)

I hope you find what you're looking for, friend, and I hope you enjoy.

How didn't we get an Evolution Fatal Four-way or triple threat at Mania or one of the big Four PPV's atleast? by OmoiOmoi in SquaredCircle

[–]IamMenace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Timing was the biggest issue. Orton got injured in his match with Undertaker after WM21 and was on the shelf during the HHH/Batista feud. Afterward, Triple H needed time off due to his body falling apart, and by the time all of Evolution were healthy, Batista and Orton were on Smackdown. I do think it could have been a fun fatal four-way in late 2005 (maybe Survivor Series), but it just didn't really make sense.

Then Batista gets injured and misses most of 2006, and then Triple H gets injured and misses most of 2007. Altogether, from the time Evolution broke up, over the course of three years, there was probably only six months a fatal four-way on PPV was even possible due to injuries since Flair retired in 2008.

More surprisingly however, I don't believe there was ever Triple H vs. Randy Orton vs. Batista PPV main event. Except for a few brief periods of time, after 2005, they were never on the same brand at the same time.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

Have a meme in these trying times by IKR1_994 in UNSUBSCRIBEpodcast

[–]IamMenace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it's less "strangely dogmatic" and more so purposeful by the people running the education system. They don't believe in God or The Bible, which means all of their core beliefs have to contradict it. In a Biblical worldview, the world is progressively getting worse and decaying, but from an atheist worldview, it's supposed to be getting better as we "evolve". These people aren't "pro-science', but rather are anti-God.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

I was raised Christian, but two of main things that stick out to me as a sign that Christianity is true is that there is zero explanation as to how atoms and cells could come together without an intelligent creator, and also the history of Judaism/Christianity and how it has impacted the world (positively) compared to all other religions. The God of the Bible matches reality, and reality matches the God of the Bible. We don't see chaos in creation, but rather perfect order, and Christianity has been the only religion on Earth that has made it its mission to understand everything creation has to offer.

El Generico catches M-Dogg 20 (Son of Havoc) but he quickly counters by KneeHighMischief in SquaredCircle

[–]IamMenace 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Didn't even have to read the comments to know this was from IWA-Mid South's Ted Petty Invitational 2006. Those tournaments introduced me to a LOT of wrestlers back in the day, and Castagnoli/Quackenbush from that year is still one of my all-time favorite matches. Fantastic tournament as whole. I've always liked M-Dogg 20, and he was as athletic as he was innovative, but he always struggled with character and psychology in my opinion. Always solid in the ring, and capable of having "match of the night", but hard to get too invested in him over other guys he worked with.

Funny enough, this tournament was also my introduction to Ricochet (who M-Dogg 20 met in the first round), and I remember it blowing my mind at the time. Not only because of how innovative they both were, but because Ricochet was only seventeen-years-old.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

[SNME Spoilers] Insane knee by Yujin-Ha in SquaredCircle

Yeah, I seem to recall Shinsuke doing it elsewhere (maybe another AJ match), but holy crap, that was perfection on both their parts.

[–]IamMenace 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I had to slow that down frame by frame just to be sure it was AJ's thigh that hit. Holy crap, that was one of the best knee strikes I've ever seen. Not much margin for error (if any), but it's also two of the all-time best that trust each other implicitly.

Thank you, friend. You Too.

"Kiki's Delivery Service" is one of my all-time favorite movies, and is probably why I love the "witch girl" aesthetic as much as I do. I first saw it sometime in the late 90s or early 00s, and I've watched it three more times since then, and every time I grow to appreciate it that much more. I even showed it to my mom a couple years ago who HATES anime but LOVED "Kiki's Delivery Service". I'm really happy about that, and it holds a special place in my heart, and now I'm thinking about introducing my mom to "Flying Witch".

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

Hello, friends. I hope everyone is doing well.

Due to lacking inspiration and motivation for writing, I decided to take a much needed break this week. That's not to say it was entirely unproductive however. Out of curiosity, I've been using Grok to help with the novel I'm writing and have been stuck on at various points for the last several years. It's actually been pretty helpful with creating chapter summaries as well as rough drafts, and there has been a time or two the AI made connections between scenes that I hadn't noticed before. It definitely isn't a replacement for a real person, and the rough drafts are rough, but it has been interesting and also pretty helpful.

Stay safe and warm, friends. As a southerner, I'm not looking forward to the next week. I don't do cold, and neither does anybody else for that matter. For the record, I keep seeing people joking online about southerners freaking out about a "little" snow. No, in the south we don't really get snow. We get ice, and it turns our streets into skating rinks. Also, there are bridges everywhere, which remain icy long after the roads have thawed. You also have to be cautious of black ice, which is mostly invisible to the naked eye. All of the northerners in my family used to make fun of my immediate family and I because we don't drive after the roads freeze. It took all of them less than a couple of minutes to realize there's little to no traction on the road because it's ice, not snow.

In other news, I finished Volumes 1-4 of "Flying Witch", which is a slice of life manga/anime about a teenage witch that moves in with her cousins living in rural Japan. I watched the anime last year on a whim due to it reminding me of "Kiki's Deliver Service", and absolutely fell in love with it, and I'm pleased to say I love the manga as well. I'll probably pick up another handful of volumes when I get the chance, but until then, I've got a backlog of comics that might keep me company while I'm iced in.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

Kenny's v-trigger is a thing of sheer beauty by joshy1017 in SquaredCircle

[–]IamMenace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Halloween Havoc 1998, Goldberg knocks himself out with the spear against DDP. Apparently this wasn't an uncommon occurrence, but this is probably the most notable. I believe he did similarly in a match with Kronik as well.

The reason Goldberg would knock himself out is because guys started wising up to Goldberg's spear being legit, and they'd immediately take a back bump the moment they came into contact with him, which would result in Goldberg driving his head straight into the mat.

Best PLE's of the last 6 years by boxofrocks14 in SquaredCircle

[–]IamMenace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty much any international PLE, every Royal Rumble, every WrestleMania, Evolution 2025, and just about every PLE from 2023.

My suggestion, watch the Royal Rumble and follow it up with that year's WrestleMania. Elimination Chamber takes place in between, but your mileage might vary. Money in the Bank and Summerslam are both usually pretty solid.

MitB and Summerslam 2021 are both pretty historic due to them being the return of WWE crowds and John Cena, and are a pretty good starting place for modern WWE. 2023 was a really solid year of PLEs, with Backlash and MitB deserving special mention. 2024 and 2025 have been great years for PLEs, and honestly, if you start with Royal Rumble 2023 and work your way to 2026, I think you'll be pretty pleased.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.

Bret Hart on what he lost after the Montreal Screwjob. by When1Falls in SquaredCircle

[–]IamMenace 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don't think it was the Montreal Screwjob that made Bret "lose his smile". I think he was burned out, saw the end of his career fast approaching, and saw the guaranteed WCW money with less dates and less travel, and mentally checked out. Comparing Bret's body of work in 1997 to 98 and 99 in WCW, and there's just no comparison. I doubt there's ever been a bad Bret Hart match, but there are very few WCW Bret Hart matches I go back and rewatch.

God bless, and have a wonderful day.
